Question

A scuba diver used the expression below to describe his position in relation to sea level. 2 + (negative 20) + 8 Which statement could describe the diver's movements?

Answer 1

Answer:

Scuba diver started at 2 feet above the sea level, dove down 20 feet, and rose up 8 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

The initial number is 2 which is more than  0 that means the diver did not start at a ground  level but above than that.

The negative 20 denotes that he went down the sea level, to the extent of the number provided in feet.

Further, after that dive the positive number provides the height in feet covered to rise up from the down level of dive.
